Duodenal Switch Patients in MT????

And to just clarify what I wrote earlier, they are covering the DS Tricare is. A friend of mine just got her's approved and we think that my denial is because of the WRONG CPT CODE!!! THE DS HAS A NEW CODE THAT CAME INTO EFFECT 1/1/05 AND IT IS: 43845. ANY MORE QUESTIONS, PLEASE GO TO THE DS BOARD AND THERE YOU WILL SEE IT UNDER: INSURANCE ISSUES SUB CATAGORY; DENIAL OVERTURNED! Scroll down and you will see the GREAT news. SO, please continue to pray that just with us changing the cpt code and resubmitting it, that I will be approved this time! Love ya'll, Deb from Montana

WELL!!! Today we got the final email concerning TRICARE and their DISAPPROVAL of DS. SO this kid is gonna go private pay to Brazil and Dr. Marchesini. I can't wait! All I have to do is get the initial contact papers from him, fill them out and email them back to him. I have two or three pre-op things to do and then come up with $1000. and get everything coordinated. I'll be having surgery here before we know it. Thankfully my DH is in full support and we are on the same page! All good things do come to those who wait. Praise GOD! Love ya'll, Deb from Montana
